Sri Lanka are incredibly fortunate the driver wasn't hit or else they would quite obviously have been stranded.
He was shot dead straight away, it was one of the police who took his place and got them out of there, I think I posted the quote from the BBC website a couple of pages back
The driver of the bus carrying the Sri Lankan team, Khalil Ahmed, said: "As we approached the city's Liberty Roundabout, I slowed down. Just then what seemed to be a rocket was fired at my coach, but it missed and I think flew over the top of the vehicle

Plus, how useless is a police convoy is the police aren't protected themselves?
Another thing which will definitely raise questions is that not a single terrorist was injured/killed in the encounter, how can this be?
Another thing, those terrorists travelled all the way from a distant place in Lahore to the Gaddafi carrying heavy arms and ammunitions without attracting a single eye, this is quite strange, isn't it?
The third question, normally the two team buses of the two teams start together, but in this case when the terrorists attacked the SL bus the Pakistan team was still at the hotel. Is this just a co-incidence ?
4th Q: The route which the SL team bus was supposed to take on going the Gaddafi, it was changed moments before the bus left for the stadium after an united decision. How come the terrorists got aware of this route in such a short time?
5th Q: How come the terrorists escaped?

BTW, I was watching Times Now a bit earlier. A live show about today's incident- one of the guests was an ex Pak army general called Quareshi. He has again started playing the same broken record which the Pak govt will play some days later- "Pakistan does not know anything, the terrorists were not Pakistani, Pakistan is not responsible, those who are accusing Pakistan are idiots, you have no proves against us" these type of things. I don't know how these illiterate morons become the generals of armies. We are supposed to fight terrorism together, but if some country/person continuously keeps denying facts like this then it will be very hard to work with it/them.
You read my mind there, this incident has really opened a can of worms for pakistan and looks like there are no answers except the face that "Security in Pakistan = 0"
Also the security provided to the team bus was "two jeeps" from what I saw on TV and that cant be enough,
Pakistan will most probably face diplomatic isolation now bcoz they are very un-cooperative
The driver wasn't hit, the man driving the Umpires in the car behind was shot and killed immediately if thats who you're thiking of.
The Sri Lankan wicketkeeper Kumar Sangakkara told Australia's ABC radio that he and his team mates probably owed their lives to their bus driver.
"We had an amazing driver who just kept driving the bus straight through all of that to the ground and that's probably what saved us."
That's the reason the Indians canceled the tour it's ok even if the Pakistanis called the west and Indians pussies as life is more precious.
